Those Good Old Days
jeffrey conyers Aug 2016
Ole, to listen to some talk about those good olds days is a dream.
Where?
For some it was great.
While for others it a total trial of misery.

Oh, many remember those segregated water fountains and theaters.

Good for one.
And not for the other.

Oh, yes the rules that treated one royally.
And the others secondary.

Now it's the primary loving the good od days.
Where?
They feel high and mighty about the past.
When things was held back for others to gain.
While the accomplished getting over to get their way.

Notice, rules placed into law against those that couldn't vote.
To some a running joke.
Even had the support of the Supreme Court during that time.

Yes, the good old days.
I'm for one glad they have faded.
Like a sad memory you wish to forget.

My Fault, My Failure
jeffrey conyers Jan 2013
If I ever forgot to apolgize to anyone that I have hurted.
My fault.
I owe you more.

If I never succeed at my dreams and aspiration.
I'm personally the blame.
Call it, my failure.

We can have the best of ideas and fail to live up to them.
All because we didn't try.
Call it, my fault.
Plus, my failure.

For anything to ever succeed.
It requires, a willing particpant.
Who have a clue to what success means?

So, while we might lose things we should have fought for.
We must address, why we never done more to hold on?
Especially when you realize it's your fault for your failure.

Lonliness, is a sad feeling.
When the one you love has moved on.

Born Under A Bad Sign
jeffrey conyers Jul 2012
Albert King, sung loud about being born under a bad sign.
B B King, sung about his need for a little bit of love.
And stated later.
How the thrill was gone?

Far remove from Marvin Gaye's pleading to Let Get It On.
Different era.
Different song.

Howling Wolf.
Muddy Waters.
And Little Milton too.
Could have you dancing and begging too.

When the Mojo got to working.
The thrill came back.
Like the red rooster chasing the hen around.

Until you felt.
You was born under a bad sign.
When the loving got uo and left.

Was you a scorpion?
Or Taurus.
The sting or the steam couldn't assist you.
Least when you're listening too ZZ Hill.
Singing down home blues.

Then you could careless about being born under a bad sign.

Fame
jeffrey conyers Oct 2012
They like it.
When it's positive.
They can't stand it.
When it's negative.
It's fame.

Oh, the publicity game they play.
Receiving many, many free type things.
Smiling and attending many events.

Least when they first starting out.
As the fame continue to grow.
Soon, within time they become inclusive.
As, if fans are too good to know.

This I don't sign autographs.
I guess they under the impression.
They made themselves.
It's the fame that has them thinking this way.

Scandals, affairs and the snooping of the press.
Now have them pretending to be someone else.
They might be Sophia Sunshine or River Jones.
Just to keep the scandals , from being known.

Spokes people speaking.
And trying their best to spin a lie.
Should have advised their client to be truthful up front.
The very first time.

Rehab.
Rehab on drugs legal and illegal too.
We all know of some famous person going through this.

Look Back With Regrets

There will be some we regret hurting.
And might not meant too.
When we look back with regrets.

There might have been words said.
That hurt to the bottom of your heart.
When you look back with regrets.
Words, you might not get the opportunity to take back.

Could have been said to your mother.
Or father, sister or brother.
Even to someone you considered a friend.

Just remember these words of wisdom.
When you look back.
You gonna have some regrets.

We always do.
When we look back.

The Clown
jeffrey conyers Jul 2012
I hide my face behind the makeup of a clown.
Not because I'm sad.
But because I like seeing people smile.

I work my magic constantly.
For even a hurt person needs a relief.
The world is made up of so much sadness.
When there's no need to be.

Reach out and help another.
And you'll find them assisting back.
I hid my face behind the makeup of a clown.

While knowing in the next town.
I'm still required to make a person smile.
To some.
I'm a welcoming of joy.
Turning a fright frown around.

Who wants to see a sad clown around?
Happy Gabby.
Or Sad Lappy.
Which one would you select?
Least when you are depressed.

Smile and watch people ask why?
Frown and watch people appears blue.
All because of your bad mood.

A clown gets laughter more.
When they try to make you smile for joy.
jeffrey conyers Nov 2012
A fire rages through a manufacturing plant.
And many under paid and truly innocent people dies.
As they sew clothes for well known brand apparel firms.

And, when the news spotlight the well known brand.
Instantly, they send out the spokes persons to defend their name.
Suddenly, it's nobody's responsibilty for these death.

What American or foreigner?
Doesn't believe that many famous celebrities isn't at fault.
Sure they indiretly share the blame simply because they lent out their name.
While not questioning a single thing.

We know for cheaper pay.
Many countries does corporation dirt work.
Which only gets spotlighted.
When innocent people dies in a fire.

Executives, only cares about the dollar sign.
And the investors seeking profit too.
Is right there behind them.
And they wonder, why people complains?
Because we know.
It's nobody's responsibilty when death comes.

We blame someone for it.
As long as it's not us.

Struggle
jeffrey conyers Dec 2013
You can be..
A doctor, teacher, lawyer.
And still be struggling.

Ask yourself?
Who hadn't struggle?

You can be preacher, judge, lover?
And still be struggling?
Again, ask yourself?
Who hadn't struggle?

Life of happiness eventually will find you.
It seems to always do.
The potential to feel satisfaction will come.
It just depends when it will effect you.

Just loving is struggle.
Just living is a struggle.
But through all your troubles, there's a golden rainbow.
Shining brighter than it ever has before.
Alerting you that your luck of joy will last from that moment, when you decides to struggle no more.

Take a Moment to Laugh
jeffrey conyers Aug 2012
Ha, ha, ha
Is the way we write a form of laughter?
Which can be a stress relaxer.
But we all should take a moment to laugh.

Who hadn't laugh at that person fallin' down the steps?
You know you have.
You know you did.
All because it wasn't you.

Yes, the one that fell.
Saw no joy in your laughter.
But it gave you the chance to defend yourself.
By proclaimin' that's why they are called steps.
Instead of dance steps.
Like they were tryin' to do.

Oh, yes.
Take a moment to laugh.
Even if it's after yourself.
Which we have also done.

Who hadn't tripped over the carpet?
And looked down for the reason why?
While never seeing an object before our eyes.
You know  you laughed.
You know you did.
We sometimes laugh even, at a kid.

Take a moment to laugh.

Guess what?
To laugh.
You really don't need a reason's why?
Just try it.
And watch your relaxation eases your mind.

We even laugh at comedians.
Because the story they told remind you of us.
And after you did.
Wasn't for a moment your troubles gone.

Just remember.
To take a moment to laugh.
A moment of joy always eases what botherin' you.

I'm yearning for you.
Every part of you.

In my dreams, they only wonderful thoughts of you.
Even when awake and looking off into space.
I'm yearning for you.

Just a slight smile upon my face.
Gives off signals of what i'm thinking of?
And the more I think, the more I yearning for you.

It's a strong emotional hold.
A longing desire to rush home and love you more.
Anything that's good requires you to enjoy.

Saga of A Bully
jeffrey conyers Feb 2013
They go unnotice.
Least, to those that should know.
And for those that do know and do nothing.
The evidence usually shows.

They bother no one.
But gets bother more.
And for whatever reasons, we stay silent.
Until something tragedically happens.

Then blame starts flying everywhere.
All because the bully has been exposed.

It could in a group atmosphere.
Or the trouble makers might be flying solo.

But for the administrators that avoided the conflicts.
Instead of ending it quick.
We starts to see the stupidity of the adults.

While the bully works ways to intimidate again the innocent ones.
Unless, the hurt soul revert to a gun to solve his conflict.
We all know, it shouldn't have to come to this.

Sometimes, it's much worst.
When we find out in the news or reports.
That the hurt soul has killed themselves.
All because many didn't reach out to stop the mess.

A bully creates havoc.
But can't stand the consequences to come.
For, what you done?
Will come back upon your soul.

For, in this grave lies a innocent child.
Who never bother anyone?
Who gone too soon?
All because the stupidity of a few fools.

I'm Happy

Without any riches of money.
I'm happy.
I don't see too many millionaires able to say it.
They more into investments and divorces and paying of alimony.

Without many fancy things.
I'm happy.
Just living my life keeps me at it.

Life wasn't giving to be stressed but stress free.
Like a child with a smiling face and no worries.

Yes, I'm happy to be love.
Family, friends which requires no money.

Happiness is, anything that keeps you smiling.

Just imagine?
If legal segregation came back in modern time?
Or placed on the legislature?

Just think of the uproar?

If that race in love with guns now?
They would be extremely in love with them more.

It just wouldn't go over.
This group that treated like second class by some.
Would put that group in place?

They have to face facts?
Just like the protest of Black Live Matters?

Where?
We see many refusing to acknowledge their truth that minorities quick to get killed by officers appearing like Bull Connor squad.

And just like logic offered about slaves seeking their freedom.
You find that race giving oddest reasons for in place segregation.

We aware that many hard workers in society?
Never been many executives with the suits?
And we can paint a picture of this various group.

Segregation, never served an honest purpose?
Just for intimidation fear.
And now that one group facing the blunt reality of life.

They speak of their rage and stupidity that many minorities surpassing them.

We see this with many politicians seeking votes?
They know when to manipulate this group simply for votes.

It's not the Latinos taking their jobs?
Or anything any African Americans have done.

It just they trying to rule once more.
And finding many less fortunate races not going.
So legal segregation just their dream.

That First Kiss

For years, you imagine it.
For years, you pretended it.
Yes, that first kiss.

And when it happen.
For hours, you think of it.
For hours, you speak about it.
Even tell a few too.
Yes, that first kiss.

You describe the feeling you went though.
You talk about the moment you first got nervous.
Just the tender touch of your lips meeting.
Had your heart rapidly beating.
As if you was going to pass out.
Yes, that first kiss.

Somethings you just don't forget.
Even those with Alzheimer's remember certain events.
Not all of these folks forget.
Just like us, many can recall that first kiss.

Love, admiration or just infatuation has led to that first kiss.
Who know?

Women Not All Innocent
jeffrey conyers Sep 2018
So, he's a cheater.
So he's wealthy.
What's so strange to admit to many?
Women not all innocent in these scandals.

You cry Me-too or Me-three and it still is various takes on the matter.

Whether it's the comedian
The movie mogul.
Or the reddish clown of the United States.

In all situation, we notice some took money to quiet them into silence.

Now, they claiming this and claiming that.

But like many say in silence or around select friends.
Women, not all innocent in these matters.

Some people do anything for money.
And then we spin the tale before the press that goes into instant judgment.

Now, what kind of *** that a fool would pay 130, 000 most men can't state?
Some guys would tell her to call the Wahington Post, New York Time, and any other paper.

Wouldn't any money be paid?
Then we aware this a trait this man has in paying for the pleasure.

Why?
Do we feel this level to say the man to blame?
Deals, mainly with many ladies jumping on this "It happened to me too".
And some has the honest truth.

But then you go back to the seventies on one of the accusers.
Club 54 was more than a club for dancing and fun.
It was also a place to venture for joy.

Why?
Be at a man house when the spouse not there.
But that neither here or there.
Cause once accused many men can't win.

Even when in her mind she knew what you had planned.

In scriptures, Samson was a complete fooled.
The woman used all kinds of tricks to get the information she needed.
And in the in he came to regret it.

To makeup for injustice.
You must offend those that thought it was justified.
For they will hide behind pride.

To overturn wrong.
You must point out the truth.
Especially to your chosen group.

Like clothes given to you that you just add on to what you have?
Our love is about the same.
Like the purchase of new shoes.
When you already have plenty.
And need no more.

I find we having accumulation without elimination in our life.

And as find as this seem.
Just like friends surrounding us that means nothing positive.
Some we just have to avoid completely.

Somethings you must rid yourself of in life.
Except love which has power.
Which has a serious worth.
And in our life, we have accumulation of it.
Without elimination surrounding it.

I keep on accumulating.
In hopes, we never eliminating this love between us.

I need you.
This is surrounded by truth.
Me without you.
Is similar to love without a feeling.

I need you.
Truth comes from me admitting it.

Mainly because they can't continue on with their selfish ways.

Certain percentages was started by this group.
Way back in in the decades.

We accept them doing times of wars.
To join our forces and fight our wars.
That's life.

We seen the worst of America, at certain times.
Segregation, is a great case that comes to mind.

We place Asians groups within concentration camps.
And they was legal Americans.

No one group made this country great.
All races has something they know they contributed.

Some we read about within the papers.

And it was because of immigration.

The Women
jeffrey conyers Feb 2011
The women truly believed in the power of God.
While the men question's his motives and heart.

The women accepted that he was sent by God.
The men tried to intimidate him by attacking his spirit.

The women stepped quicker up to the plate.
They truly believe Jesus could decide their fate.
Sure some men came hoping for the same.
But it seems in scriptures men has many wicked ways.

Funny the women get talked about and shamed.
But it seems like the  just men for awhile played shady games.
From Jezebel to BathSheba listen to their reputation.
And than see the way the men came out the situation.

From Deliah and others they just couldn't win.
But you see most of the men still remain in favor over them.
But the book was written by men.
And the women probably would have been destroyed for picking up a pen.

We see how in today society they get cut down for being a Bishop.
When it's just a title being used.
I'm positive God wouldn't judge them harshly for preachng about him.

But, he did create man right before he created them.

Women approached him believing in faith.
We see the men constantly  talking about his race.
Those that walked before God to pray.
Will find a Spirital counselor following them along the way.

Women that many think should be more submissive.
Really in reality are  more progressive.
That motherly figure deserves so much more.
Then we men seems willing to give her.

Oh, the truth hurts.

All except a certain percentage.

The law works.
Works for a certain group.
And not completely for others.

The power that be controls the rules.
History has addressed that in various ways.

Where a certain percentage can come?
While others can't stay
Except when some uses the news to get their way.

For those that never started at the starting line.
Comprehend you been ahead longer.
And this isn't a lie.

Laws created to hinder one.
While one profit greatly from them.
Is now facing the reality of friction coming to us.

Segregation against a variety of group.
Only has show society the complete truth.
Running and hiding within your own world.

Only showcase you afraid of real truth.

But many survive upon working at it.
Many pay checks could be better.
But they perfect than being broke.

I'm not perfect.

In Genesis chapter  six God regretted making mankind.

But understood we should never be perfect.
Because he wouldn't have ways to make us see that in the beginning.

You had rivals of opposite back grounds.
But similar in many ways.

Whether it was country , or the blues.
You have rivals impressing you.

Chuck Berry, with his oddity sound.
Had Buddy Holly , with his similar odd sound.

Say LittleRichard and think Jerry Lee Lewis.
Two of the baddest piano players that was original.

And we know Elvis had no rival of his style.
Although for some reason they think it was Fabians.
Who were far from it?

The Beatle during the sixties had the Rolling Stones.
While the Temptations had the Impressions.
And the Lovin' Spoonful had the Rascals.

We, see things that reminds you of twins.
Sometimes, it pays to be different.
To let your personality come shining through.

Which we know music usually do.

Unless it part of a music called rage.

Or maybe even rap.

Because the riches of the rich seems to living in a nightmare.

Dictated too.
To report the news.

Reading from a script that barely change.

We aware the sports reporter could do the things the reporters news.
But in away, they are robots too.
With less stricter rules.

But who reports upon them?
We know once scandal hits.
The competition avoids reporting these facts.
Then again, they do have a "respect" pact.

The robots reporting the news.

Sometimes, I wish there was just one anchor.
Then it would be better concentrating upon one person.
But one gender will complain.

That's how we got co-anchors in the first place?
And this water down reporting isn't news in the first place.

jeffrey conyers Dec 2012
His warmth seems to come through.
It shows in all his videos.
Where you'll find the coolest Temptations wearing a smile?

His false falestta hid his tenor tones.
But in the songs his voice made them rings.
Whether it was Paul Williams or David Ruffin singing.

Even when he was out front you reconized the man.
Eddie Kendricks smile was front and center.
It's part of his personality you'll remember.

From Why You Wanna Make Me Blue?
All the way to Just My Imagination too.
You felt the sincerity with each song.

Even during his solo years.
You still felt a connection to him.
From Honey Brown to Keep On Truckin'.
You realize his importance.

Berry Gordy founded Motown that's true.
Except Eddie Kendricks contribution help it to grow.
This a lot of fans show recognized and know.
It just wasn't Smokey.
Even those he help everybody's along.

Woman of Value
jeffrey conyers Mar 2013
You lose your value everytime you cuss.
It's unlady like to many of us.

A real woman is stern, firm and strong.
Not in the least bit to correct any wrong.

You loses your value everytime you speak.
You can gain it back.
If you think before you speak.

To think, it's a total waste of a good hearted soul.
Who tries to follow?
Instead of lead.
For that's all I known you to do.

This  was one of the qualities, I respected about you.
Besides the way you carry yourself.
Very independent.
Who requested no help?

The woman I remember was schooled in charm.
Well bredded.
Well educated with knowledge.
Just true lady-like quality.

Who was an examples to others?
This will always be the lady I remember.
A woman, who have more value than gold.

Love Shouldn't Be
jeffrey conyers Sep 2013
Love, shouldn't control people like it do.
Have many doing things, they eventually learn from.

Who doesn't read about something wrong?
Something, you feel could have been handle right.

If its over.
Its over and done.
Don't ever give another the power to thing they control you.

Love, shouldn't be the cause of conflicts.
Its not the way God created it.

If you have to use threats to hold on to someone.
You must realize that there will come a time that death will visit you.

But love shouldn't be the reason's concerning you.

Chicago Raging
jeffrey conyers Aug 2018
Chicago, what's going on?
Killing after killing like it's just a game of darts.
In fear of gangs claiming territory they simply don't own.

And if the government takes a gang eradication approach to deal with it.
Then we would make it a racial attack.
Mainly because the Chicago raging coming mostly from gangs that's black.

Then you hear these ministers crying foul to the news.
But ask yourself?
What?
Are the ministers trying to do in your neighborhoods?

Like many, they preach sermons in church on Sunday talking about storm warnings.
But not true activists like the old guards during segregation.

Take on these gangs like Jesus took on his distractors.
Be brave, be strong, what do you have to lose?
Except for your life.

Sometimes, it's a challenge you have to pay.

Through stupidity, we go for locking these gang members up.
When just maybe they deserve the chair?
Once fear is placed in many.
Then many gang members comprehend the consequences.

Can't always blame the police force, or the mayor for the stupidity of a few.

Young youth thinking in a gang they must show their loyalty.
Forget what color your gang claims?
At the end of the day to them, your blood of death means not a thing.
jeffrey conyers Sep 2013
Some has been anointed.
Some has been appointed.
Still I doubt they understand the power of God.
Then again, they just might.

Genesis lay out God's plans explicitly.
Just by speaking things THEY came to be.
He created heaven.
He created earth.
He formed it.
He molded it.
And with his Spirit moved upon the waters.

And God said, Let there be light.
Just by mentioning the word, it came to be.

And God said, Let there be firmament in the midst of the waters.
Just the mentioning of words, things came to be.
Of course, there's more to, what he spoke?

Just to know, God said it.
And it appeared shows the power of his strength.

And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be placed together.
And it was so.
Just writing a poem about things people heard.
But never read Genesis to truly know.

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass and various other things.
And that came to be.
Who doubt God?
Probably doubt many things.

Just by mentioning mere words our earth came into existence.
God deserves to be heard.
And He don't ever seek the attention.
It's there for us to see.

We should magnify God with proudness.
Even if its before an Atheist.

God's not offended, if they don't know.
He have found many amongst them that didn't know.
Glory,be to God.

Poor Boy With A Dream
jeffrey conyers Dec 2013
Wealth, we imagine.
Not something we chase, but something we would take.
Many of us are rich and it has nothing to do with monetary things.

Love, many men seek.
Hoping for ways to keep the one they love happy.
Seeking ways to offer her gifts.
Essentially, we are a poor boy with a dream.

We seen celebrities once was one.
Hoping to make our mother happy in several ways.
Seeking things of interest to make us participate in the dream.

Elvis, Sinatra, the Beatles too.
Once was poor boys with a dream.
Berry Gordy, Smokey Robinson and host of others once was poor a poor boy with a dream.

Riches comes from your accomplishments.
And many times money's not involved.
But if blessings should be fall upon you.
Then you imagine all the things you would do.

But you must be content on having nothing.
To be able to deal with having something.
Money can turn many into a wicked soul.
When at one time, they had nothing at all.

Except , being a poor boy with a dream.

Rewriting History of Truth
jeffrey conyers Mar 2017
Strange, how the bright seems to live in a world of fright.
Rewriting history books to not face their own dramatic past.

Now, selected grounds of educational schools.
The path of slavery is none close to the truth.
The race that profit so gainful of them.
Is mirrored in fantasy far from reality.

The same crew that cries that the Holocaust was a myth.
Just to same image of themselves.

Mark Twain books, are now getting edited down.
Just to make truth not appear.

Facts of the matter, they running away.
But while written words of reality can be edited.
Memories of hurtful times can't be erased.

Rewriting history reminds many of that phase, "All men are created equal."

Which to other is nowhere true.
When that the ones that level hell upon others.
Is now living in a fairytale.

Radiate
jeffrey conyers Sep 2012
Radiate.
Each morning when you awake.
Radiate your smile.
I personally guarantee you that you make someone day.

A person that's down.
Within minutes will turn their mood around.

Radiate, with pleasantries.
And watch others begins to model themselves too.
Believe in the comment it only takes one.
To attract two.

All because of a happy mood.

Hadn't a bad experience always ticked you off?
That you wanted to respond too.
And it's because of the bad mood.

So radiate.
If you feel happy inside.
Let no others dictates the thingss you do.

Happiness is a reaction.
To an event within your soul.

The Reportic Robot
jeffrey conyers Nov 2018
They constantly on the television delivering the news for today.
Love to grilled, quiz others but serious they contractual to say not   a thing.
They the reporters.
But pay attention and notice.

Once they retired or writing a book.
Now they got an opinion about everything they have seen or support.
Then the reportic robots act like their minds working.
Go figure what a signed contract can do.

No Regret
jeffrey conyers Dec 2013
No regret, on the way I was raised.
Even if back in the day spanking was the thing.
It stopped me from trying to get my way.

My parents was firm.
My parents was stern.
And that discipline made me, who I am today.

Yes, I have no regrets to regret about my youth.
I did the usual stupid things that most kids still do today.

Except, we probably was more creative and imaginable then.
Especially when playing cowboys and Indians.
Just to hear one of your friends claim, they are Superman.
Which ruin everything.

Or tearing apart a good tricycle just to make your own go cart.
Or locating old doors to make your own tree house.

Computer games to us, was simply using your brain.
And having teachers really teach school skills to us.
Not giving you books and turning you on your own.
And not comprehending the subjects matter at hand.

In my youth, we mostly knew all the neighbors by name.
Even the mailman, as they  was called then.
Even the neighborhood assigned police officer.

We knew not to create disturbance at school.
This was one of the vital parent's golden rule.
Then many parents was friends of the teachers.
And all they had to do was called.

Just maybe, this is what's so similar today?
Some kids, with modern parents still don't get their way.
Yes, no regret I have.

Respect and manners was, what you're judged by?
It simply was a representation of your parents too.
Many knew this as the God living truth.

Who doesn't remember saying your prayers on your knees as night?
You was taught God plays a very priority in your life.
No regret, I have.

If they was living today.
I still select to be raise that way.
Friends would do the same thing too.
Our parents was much respected by our friends.

Even if many was free babysitters.

Wake up each morning, with a smile.
Be determine to keep to keep it there.
You determine your day.
Just by controlling your ways.

Oh, they ticked me off.
Oh, they ruin my day.

It only happen when you lose control.

So stay in control to be in control.
You determine your day.

Rigged Election
jeffrey conyers Nov 2016
Strange, the one crying rigged election, is the one in office.
****! the numbers just don't add up.
What the huck?

With no political experiences and prone to head action.
The fools decided on less of the two evil.
Or maybe just decided the evilness of hate should be promoted?

He might not be a racist?
But used the fools that less educated and hunger to get in.

Somewhere, somehow the numbers of truth will emerged.
Rigged elections, always get investigated and point out the wrongs of injustice.

Brave talk about taking care of enemies of other countries only works until body bags build up.
Than it's a different story.

Surround yourself with idiots and you find fools using the head.
When the tail isn't aware of being used.

Like many prophets has predicted.
Time will tell just what mess we created?

To Be Love And Respected.
jeffrey conyers Apr 2014
To be love and respected.
Means to respect yourself.
Which falls in behind loving yourself.

Those that you would feel the most secure soul.
Seem to be the ones that have the most.
But once the books are written and the picture becomes clear.

You realize, they were on putting on an image.

To be love and respected.
Only means you earned that right.
Yes, you're entitle to be honor.

You don't hold yourself higher than others.
You just enhances that you deserve recognition.
For you carry yourself pretty well.

A Remarkable Woman
jeffrey conyers Jan 2014
My friends described, how beautiful this lady seem to be?
They described her lips, her eyes, her face.
They even stated the woman has taste.

That she were educated.
That she were unlike others in this world.
They stated, she were a remarkable woman.

That when she speaks.
You personally stop to listen.
Even this I would quickly mention.
Because she's a remarkable woman.

Who sounds just like the woman I love.
Which in the end they was describing her.
jeffrey conyers Aug 2016
I stand before you promising to lead you.
To fight crime.
To make education my prime goal.
To cut taxes.
To keep big government out of our lives.
To fight Washington D.C bureaucracy.

But all you're hearing is words of an American manipulator.
But we buy it.
Some of us strives upon these critters.

When in fact government constantly has grown.
Nothing forever stays small.
Except, the adult little peoples.

Look around those roads you see in growth has came through efforts of big government.
Crime, we can push numbers loud and proud except it has constantly grew.
We know it.
We see it.
Politicians, just twist the numbers.

And every political force that hit Washington D.C has been brain washed into joining the crowd.
What new breed has changed anything?

When you're surrounded by vultures ready to bounce and attacked.

Cutting taxes, oh that's the unwritten tools.
Say it.
And instantly, you have support of certain blind fools.
But taxes will forever rule.
Think of the one thing the manipulator of words uses to make us fall in line.

Yes, war!!
And security of our nation.
We don't complain.
Cause many know why?
We afraid to be seen in a negative light.

So ALL politicians hides behind lies.
Go through every decade of Americas existence and you'll see various times.
